This Georgian Home in the London neighborhood of Camden is filled with open shelving, from the kitchen to the bathroom. We spotted some unconventional ideas that look great in context, including the open shelving underneath the kitchen counters. We often see open wall shelving in kitchens, but it's more rare to find open cabinets on the floor. Click below for more...
Open shelving on the lower counters keeps bowls and plates in plain view.
A long natural wood shelf over the bathtub looks great and holds bath products.
Open bookshelves flanking the window create a small alcove against the wall.
Above the radiators, floating shelves hold books and stereo equipment.
This home is one of many gorgeous spaces featured on the UK-based Light Locations, an agency that provides backdrops for photo industry professionals. Check out their site for many more inspiring interiors.

This house is really beautiful... white and wood, such a perfect match.

i can't get with the open under-cabinets in the kitchen -- keeping my cereal bowls that close to floor-grit updrafts would kind of freak me out.

I ADORE open shelving and really wish we could mount floating shelves to our walls in this apartment. But it's old and that makes hanging anything a challenge. And then there's about a 50/50 chance that the nail or screw (even with an anchor) will actually hold in the wall. It's so sad.

Never open kitchen cabinets for me, the cat is too fascinated with my closed off cabinets (in the kitchen as well as elsewhere in the house) as it is. I'd constantly have him in there, shedding all over plates, pans and other stuff, not so pleasant.
Other than that, it looks frikkin' gorgeous in the pictures :)

What a gorgeous home, so natural and the lighting is really nice... It feels restful.
Why can't we all live in a Georgian home in London with a clawfoot tub (in a bathroom the size of my current bedroom) leading out to a serene patio?

I must add that I have shelving over my kitchen sink (vs. closed cabinets) and I only put items on it that move frequently - like cereal bowls and mugs, so they don't really have time to build dust.
